Approaching the topic with a transactional approach that follows the actual lending cycle chronologically, often with hypothetical cases, law professors Bender (U. of Oregon School of Law), Hammond (The John Marshall Law School), Madison (Fordham U.), and Zinman (St John's U.) introduce the law of modern real estate financing in the United States. In addition to covering the fundamentals of land transfer and real estate finance, chapters cover commercial real estate leasing; real estate investment; and important issues such as cooperatives and planned communities, negotiations and arbitration, bankruptcy, and environmental liabilities.
